Rectangular Patch Antenna with Dual and Triple-band using Complementary Split ring Resonator (CSRR)
Abstract: This paper presents the idea of a Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR)-based multiband microstrip patch antenna. By etching the CSRR in the ground plane of the conventional rectangular patch antenna, several bands are obtained, thereby miniaturizing the conventional antenna. This article examined and contrasted the results of the microstrip antenna with two, four and six CSRR inclusions. Because of the quasi-static resonance properties of the complementary split square resonators, the …

Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Readout Integrated Circuit for Imaging Applications
Abstract: In this paper presents a novel continuous-time simultaneous-readout scheme for active imaging systems based on orthogonal modulation of photo detector signals. The superimposed-continuous-time approach presented here differs from the conventional scheduled-discrete-time scheme in that the photo detector signals are summed in a common bus concurrently and then converted to voltage levels for digitization. We illustrate that our proposed architecture may be profitable. Predominantly, in solicitations, the bandwidth necessities for a …

Quantum Error Correction on Cryptography
Abstract: This article introduces novel concepts in quantum error correction and cryptography. It explores “approximate quantum error correction” (AQEC), which relaxes the requirement for perfect error correction in quantum systems. AQEC specializes in creating codes tailored to specific types of noise models. The study establishes a universal, near-optimal recovery map for AQEC, simplifying the identification of effective approximate codes. In the realm of noisy-storage cryptography, the research envisions secure two-party cryptographic …

From Humours to Metabolism: An Integrative Review of Obesity Management in Unani Medicine
Abstract: Unani Medicine, a traditional complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) system, adopts a holistic, temperament-based approach to disease prevention and management. In classical Unani literature, obesity is described as Simān-e-Mufriṭ, a pathological condition arising from humoral imbalance, particularly the predominance of phlegm (Balgham) and derangement of temperament (Su’-e-Mizāj), most commonly of a cold and moist nature. This condition is attributed to a sedentary lifestyle, weakened digestive and metabolic faculties, and excessive …
